Shark Fin Soup

Last but not least was the shark fin soup… Di Tou had to say that he had some mixed feelings about this soup. Upon getting the dish, the first thing he did was to try to eat the shark fin, which after cooking for a long time had broken down into long thin strands of cartilage, almost resembling a unique noodle. But upon eating it he found that while it didn't exactly taste bad, it didn't taste good either. Really, it was a bit… tasteless? In all honesty, he would have just preferred regular noodles, as the broth of the shark fin soup was decent.

The only issue with the soup was that it was just a pretty ordinary ham and mushroom seeped soup, with the predominant flavor being the salty rich flavor of the ham, complemented by the earthy flavors of the mushroom. It was of a pretty good quality, and would certainly qualify as one of Tai Tai's Tang's signature soups, but for a shark fin soup, Di Tou wanted to taste the shark fin, not ham!
